Marco likes to rant about other app devs selling out their users for a buck. I believe Marco believes that he's somehow different.

One man's theft is another man's anonymous homage.

Groklaw is dead on. Apple's grotesque abuse of our legal system as a weapon to destroy their competition is wicked (the bad kind).

There is no platform on the planet that could get away with exerting absolute control over what can be published on that platform except Apple. People can and do rationalize it but to subject yourself to an eco-system where your entire experience is subject to Apple's totalitarian control is creepy.

The jurors blatantly disregarded the court's instructions. They were to be thorough, unbiased and apply the law, not send a message. Good chance for a mistrial.

Of course developers should be held accountable for security flaws in their code - right after we hold bankers accountable for blowing up the economy and plundering the world.

How is banning a product that might possibly be in violation of an absurd law be in anyones best interest other than Apple's? Patent laws were intended to benefit consumers, not predatory capitalists.

Apple people who justify buying expensive technology that can't be repaired are like people who don't mind being spied on because they have nothing to hide. Apple has traded engineering principles for another dollar.
